A Hale of a Teacher

Chapter Eight

Stiles POV
--

"Dude! I can't believe there are werewolves in our school!" I said shaking Isaac.

"I don't know, all of this seems pretty insane," Isaac replied.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"There's just so much more to worry about now," Isaac frowned, "and we were just getting close to the girls and now we have weird werewolf problems! We didn't ask for any of this! Did we?" he complained.

"Dude this is so cool we should enjoy it. Scott told me The bite is a gift."  I say. "I mean c'mon look at this," I ran over to my jeep and picked it up. "I'm a beast!"

"Yeah... Exactly my point. We are monsters."

"We're werewolves, dude! Don't be such a sour wolf" I laugh.

"Can we just not talk about it right now" Isaac said frowning.

"Okay fine, so what's up with you and Tori?" I asked giving him a shove.

"Really dude?"

"You wanted to change the subject" I laughed.

Later we met up with Tori and Claire then headed to the Hale house.

"Soo about this morning where I could hear you guys in the jeep..." Isaac started as Claire quickly walked ahead.

"Yeah...? What about it...?" I said concerned.

"So how would you describe that kiss again?" he said smirking.

"Really dude?" I said blushing then caught up with Claire.

"Wait! They kissed?" Tori exclaimed. "He kissed you?" she yelled asking Claire.

Claire slowed down and talked to Tori.

"Ya, well sorta." Claire said.

"How do you sorta kiss someone?" Tori exclaimed.

"Well... I mighta been the one..." She trailed off.

"The one what!?" Tori asked excitedly.

"I mighta been the one... to kiss him," she smiled.

"Ahhh!!!" Tori squealed happily.

Then after what seemed like forever we made it to the Hale House.

Derek stood by the door waiting with a camera. As Claire and Tori walked towards him he snapped a picture,

"I knew it," He said.

"Knew what?" I asked. "That you were always meant to be a photographer?"

"No, you idiot. They're kitsunes."

"Is that like a new word for evil kitten?" Isaac frowned.

"You guys are hopeless!" Derek yelled. "Have you ever taken mythology classes? A kitsune is a Japanese fox spirit."

He showed us the picture of Claire and Tori, "See the golden aura around them? Thats what a kitsune looks like on camera. There are thirteen different types of kitsune. Kaze, Chikyu, Kasai, Kawa, Tengoku, Sanda, Yama, Kukan, Seishin, Jikan, Mori, Umi, and Ongaku. Or in English: Wind, Earth, Fire, Heaven, Thunder, Mountain, Void, Spirit, Time, Forest, Ocean, and Music."

Isaac looked impressed,"Thats pretty cool."

Claire looked impatient, "Yeah, Yeah, but what can we do?"

Derek sighed, "Once we figure your type, I'll be able to to tell you, but today, the focus is on the new teen wolves."

Derek led us into the center of his house. We were surprised to see that the whole middle of his house was set up like some sort of army training camp.

Standing across the room were the twins, Aiden and Ethan.

"Aiden and Ethan are going to both attack you. I want you to try your best to use your instinct. It doesn't matter how bad someone is hurt as long as you - or them - don't die. Everything else will heal. Scott and I are going to be over on this side of the room with the girls. When you feel stuck, come to us and we will teach you a little bit of technique. Begin." He ordered.

I decided to pick Ethan to fight. I mean he was gay... maybe he wouldn't be as hard on me, right? Sexuality can be an disadvantage, right? Boy, was I wrong.

"Alright, let's do this!" I said cracking my knuckles. I ran towards him, but he threw me to the ground.

"Too slow. You're not even tapping into your werewolf powers. "

I tried again. This time I circled him for a while than tried to punch him. He grabbed my first mid-punch and knocked me into the ground.

"You're not even trying," Ethan said with a smirk.

After a few more tries ending in failure, I was getting pissed and sweaty. I concentrated on my breath for a while and glanced at Claire.

"You can do it," She whispered.

I smiled then growled. I could feel my eyes shift into werewolf eyes. I ran towards Ethan as if I was going to knock him down but at the last moment I spun out of the way and punched him in the back. He crumbled forward.

"Fuck you, Ethan." I said

Derek clapped, "Nice job Stiles. But no profanity. We're not swear-wolves. We're werewolves."

Next was Isaac's turn. Isaac closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them they were golden.

"Dude, how did he change that fast?" I mumbled confused.

It took Isaac around seven tries before he took Aiden down.

He wiped some blood off of his face and howled. His howl echoed through out the whole building. It even gave Derek chills.

"I HATE YOU, DAD!" Isaac screamed as he dug his claws into Aiden's throat.

Derek ran up to him and pulled him off Aiden, "Nice. Next time try not to kill him."

I ran up to Isaac, "Dude, are you okay? Whats up with the 'dad' thing?"

"Uh, family issues." He mumbled.

Derek walked over and explained, "His anger for his dad awakened his inner wolf and helped his instinct."

Claire and Tori both came and congratulated us on not dying.

"I'm surprised neither of you asked for help." Scott added. "Nobody with a right mind would walk into a fight with out some strategy."

I smiled, "Well maybe we don't have a 'right mind'."

Isaac laughed, "Or maybe we're just  stupid."
